It occurred to me that the limits of possibility to the nature of the universe is it is either deterministic ie we are all at the will of natural laws that determine the outcome of events from the moment of inception and we are philosophically dust in the wind. Or is the world random and our future is uncertain and indeterminate we have freewill and there is nothing governing our future but our free choice or is it both of these scenarios happening concurrently. I am no expert, but from what I gather from quantum mechanics is that the cause of events at the quantum level is indefinite and the outcome of these uncertain and probalistic. There is the principle of uncertainty in which determining the property of a particle results in an uncertainty in determining the nature of another property of this particle is it this principle that makes it difficult to get precise measurement that is a factor in us being able to predict the outcome of events in a linear deterministic equation that gives us the unpredictable nature of quantum mechanics ie there is an equation governing the outcome of events at the quantum mechanical scale and classical scale but we are unable to feed that equation with precise data to enable us to accurately predict their outcome ,kind of like how dynamically chaotic systems are mathematically determined by there initial condition but a small perturbation or difference in initial conditions results in a different outcome. I know its that old chestnut I am not a mathematician or physicist but there can only be three possible scenarios any response will be welcome even if its disparaging.
